6.7. Stripping Blade Closure Adjustment (Figure 11)
The stripping blades must be adjusted to a depth that will permit them to cut the insulation and strip it from the
conductor, but they MUST NOT nick or scrape the conductor during cutting or removal of insulation. When
changing from one wire size (AWG) to another, it will be necessary to adjust the closure. Adjust stripping blade
depth as follows:
NOTE
i
This machine has been set up for stripping 24 AWG PTFE insulated wire. Stripping blades for stripping the middle wire
size specified on the parts list are supplied with the applicator.
1. Open front door to gain access to machine.
2. Insert blade of screwdriver into strip blade closing adjustment screw. For more closing (smaller wire), turn
screw CLOCKWISE. For less closing (larger wire), turn screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
CAUTION
DO NOT turn adjusting screw more than a few degrees (“clicks”) at a time between test crimps, especially when adjusting
for greater depth, to avoid dulling stripping blades by cutting or scraping conductor.
!
3. Close front door of machine after completing adjustment.
4. Make several test crimps by operating machine as described in Section 4 to determine if stripping blade
closing is correct.
5. Repeat as necessary, Steps 1 and 2. Close front door when adjustment is satisfactory.
6.8. Wire Strip Length Adjustment (Figure 11)
The wire strip length required may vary between applicators, and between terminals.
When necessary, adjust strip length as follows:
1. Make several test crimps by operating machine as described in Section 4 to determine if a longer or shorter
strip length is required.
2. To shorten strip length, turn adjustment screw CLOCKWISE. To lengthen, turn adjustment screw
COUNTERCLOCKWISE. This moves the strip blades in relation to the position of the terminal for stripping the
insulation between the wire and insulation crimpers. Each “click” is approximately 0.13 mm [.005 in.].
NOTE
i
Although the wire stop is attached to the stripping mechanism, this adjustment DOES NOT have any effect on the normal
location of the wire stop. Refer to Paragraph 6.9 for wire stop adjustment.
6.9. Wire Stop Adjustment (Figure 11)
The wire stop has been pre-adjusted at the factory and should not require further adjustment for regular
terminals. Adjustment may be required when using wire such as twisted pair, which will be straightened by the
action of the stripping blades. Before making this adjustment, make sure that: (1) the terminals are correctly
positioned (proper bellmouth and cutoff tab); (2) the strip length adjustment is correct; and (3) the stripping
blades are not touching the wire stop.
1. Turn screw CLOCKWISE to move wire stop back or turn it COUNTERCLOCKWISE to move wire stop
forward. In either direction, only a few degrees should be sufficient. One full revolution equals approximate
0.81 mm [.032 in.].
2. Perform several test crimps by operating machine as described in Section 4. Inspect terminations, and
repeat procedure if necessary.
